I started with a butterfly cut file from The Cut Shoppe and painted the butterflies with multiple Shimmerz Paints. My color choices were based off the Pinkfresh Studio Just a Little Lovely Collection, so I painted the butterflies in shades of blues, pinks and purples.
- Blue Butterflies: Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz, Frost Bite Vibez, Cold as Ice Vibez, Lapis Dance Creameez, Anchors Away Shimmerz Paint, Pool Me Close Shimmerz Paint & Blue Moon Aqua Huez (retired), Oh Say Can U Sea Coloringz.
- Pink Butterflies: Cotton Candy Spritz, Sweet Heart Vibez, Great Fruit Creameez. (I also mixed in a bit of orange with the pink butterflies: Mandarin Mai Tai Coloringz and Sunset Strip Vibez.)
- Purple Butterflies: Rip Van Periwinkle Vibez and Princess Vibez.
- Gold Splatters: Miner Miner 49er Inklingz
You definitely wouldn't need as many blues as I used to achieve this look. I had just received an order with new paints and was anxious to try them out! HA!
I color grouped the butterflies together after they were painted, added a layer of vellum here and there, and then stitched them together down the center. I love the added dimension this give the layout!
I arranged the butterflies on my background, but I added a splash of color to the background using Cold As Ice Vibez, Cotton Candy Spritz and Princess Vibez before I adhered anything down. I then moved onto embellishing. I color blocked the embellishments; which is a really great way to embellish quickly. I added my title using a die cut, and white puffy alphas. I also added subtitles with my kittens names using a smaller puffy alpha set.
I created a process video that you can watch by clicking HERE.
Thanks so much for joining me today and I will be back again next month with a new layout and process video! Don't forget to mention my name in the comments at check-out at the Shimmerz Store to get a free gift!
